Invited Workshop Series
SAHM proudly presents three invited workshops lectures for SAHM23
Sleep During Adolescence
William David Brown, PhD
Credit Hour(s): 1.50
This talk will focus on sleep during the teenage years. There are specific changes in sleep architecture and timing of sleep that occur during adolescence. The control of sleep by homeostasis and circadian rhythms will be reviewed. This will include how these physiological factors are influenced by behavior. Sleep is relevant in this age group for a variety of reasons. Understanding adolescent sleep has led to efforts to change school start times, making the hours of school more compatible with learning. Sleep is likely involved in the obesity epidemic and is related to the increase in diabetes. Accidents, homicide, and suicide are the primary causes of death during adolescence and inadequate sleep plays a major role in each of these areas. The major sleep disorders occurring during this age will be reviewed with relevant examples and treatment approaches discussed.
By the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to:
- Describe how the two major physiologic factors, circadian rhythms and homeostasis, interact to control the timing and duration of sleep.
- Explain the relationship between sleep and the primary causes of death in adolescence.
- Identify the primary sleep disorders most common in this age group and be able to employ the primary treatment approaches in management of these disorders.

Chronic Pelvic Pain in Adolescents
Shashwati Pradhan, MD
Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecologist
University of Chicago
Credit Hour(s): 1.50
Pelvic pain is one of the most common reasons for consultation with adolescent gynecology. Chronic pain can led to significant disruption in daily function and decrease in quality of life for adolescent patients. In this talk, we will explore the wide differential of pelvic pain from more simple causes of dysmenorrhea to more chronic and challenging diagnoses. In addition, we will specifically discuss the diagnosis and management of endometriosis – one of the most common reasons for chronic pelvic pain. Furthermore, we will delve into to less common etiologies of pelvic pain and how to formulate action plans for patients who need more comprehensive care.
By the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to:
- Define dysmenorrhea (primary and secondary) and chronic pelvic pain.
- Identify gynecologic etiologies of dysmenorrhea and management options.
- Describe diagnosis and management of adolescent endometriosis.
- Identify gynecologic and non-gynecologic causes of chronic pelvic pain and formulate action plans for management.
Dr. Pradhan is a Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecologist at the University of Chicago.
